OCRACOKE VACATION RENTAL TESTIMONIALS

"A terrific small cottage on Silver Lake."

"Great"

"We had a wonderful time. The home we stayed in was really beautiful. A home I could see myself living in. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and could not have picked a more perfect spot. We enjoyed the 2 porches so much. One for the day time and one for night. The screened porch was perfect for s’mores and milk before bedtime. We took beautiful pictures of the sunrise from the top floor porch. The home was also affordable with our retirement allowance. We will be back to this very spot for our next milestone. Thank you again OIR. We are so appreciative. Ricky & Ellen Saunders Middlesex NC"

"Ocracoke Island Realty has been our only choice for over eight years. The staff is always professional, friendly, and accommodating. Upon arrival, our rental is always clean and welcoming. Communications leading up to our stay is great and their availability to answer questions helps reduce pre-arrival stress. If you're planning a visit to this beautiful island, you can have confidence in OIR."

"We have been coming to Ocracoke since 1998, it is the most Wonderful, Magical place!! And Ocracoke Island Realty is the #1 best Realty company ever.!! The staff are kind, considerate and patient, which I know isn't always easy with everyones needs. They take care of everything you need quickly. During Covid they were so understand and Amazing!! Wouldn't want to have to go through any other company!!"

"Our experience with Ocracoke Island Realty was excellent... from the beginning to the end it was absolutely top notch! We will definitely use them again!"

"Always friendly and helpful, Doreen and Eileen have been very professional in past communication and look forward to future visits."

"Have stayed here in Castle Villas I & II many times. Love the location and the space for our big family. Villa II needs some small kitchen repairs--hot water dribbles, and sink baskets won't drain. 2 cheap fixes."

"I have booked with Ocracoke Realty for over 10 years and the customer service keeps me coming back! Doreen and the staff are truly customer service driven. Even if there is a problem with the rental they will do everything they can to resolve the issue as quickly as possible!"

"Very large selection of vacation rentals. Helpful staff. Repairs made rapidly. These folks arw knowledgeable in all things Ocracoke."

"Beautiful views, spacious rooms. Host was in constant contact to make sure everything was great with our stay."

"We three sisters thoroughly enjoyed our 'short-stay/partial stay' 3-day weekend at "Pipe Dream" Boyette Condo 2B. The condo was immaculate, just as pictured on the website, and the location was perfect. We will be back soon and will definitely use OIR again!"

"Loved as usual just need to fix screens on back porch and the grill is a fire hazard with no hot coal catcher"

"We LOVED the house. The only negative we feel is the Roku TV service. We could not get any current local information, particularly as it related to the weather."

"We loved the layout of this house and its location. The only problem we had was with the outside stairs. The handrail needs to be replaced with something that is easy to hold onto. I had my elderly parents with me, and they had a hard time getting in and out."

"The house was perfect for our needs. Really enjoyed sitting out in the sun on the balcony. There are a couple things that would have made the stay a 5 star. 1) Dust Pan to use with the broom. 2) Updated broom 3) Cleaning supplies for counters/floors/toilets 4) (Nice to have) zip lock bags/saran wrap/Aluminum foil. We would definitely rent this home again. If these items are not going to be available in most of the homes, it would be nice to know that before we arrive. Thank you!"

"Ocracoke Island delivered what they said. The property was well maintained. We had a flood like burn out and they came to fix it within hours. We did have an issue with the living room TV cable being out, but we didn't go on vacation to watch TV, so not a big issue."

"Suggestion to owners - it would have been nice to have instructions on how to work the various appliances and TV. We don't have a gas stove and the burners didn't want to light right away - finally had to google the make and model to get the owners manual. Had to FaceTime with my adult kids to figure out how to use the TV for live network television. Lol. But the location and views were spectacular!"

"Old house, showers left a lot to be desired. Shower curtain of little valve on 1st floor as it was too short. No ice maker in refrigerator. "

"No washer and dryer Fan in bathroom was not working. Porch and decks are great."

"Aways easy Just what I'm looking for"

"I recently returned from a trip to Ocracoke, and experienced firsthand the excellent service provided by Ocracoke Island Realty. I mistakenly left a really important belonging in the house we had rented, and didn’t discover it until the day after I returned home. The excellent housekeepers at OIR found it when they cleaned for the next guests, and mailed it back to me. In this and previous years, I have always found the staff at OIR very responsive and willing to do what it takes to resolve any problems (though there have been few)."

"OIR is super easy to vacation with! The website shows the rentals perfectly, and we use them every trip! The pet friendly options are wonderful!"

"My family and I have rented houses through Ocracoke Island Realty for over 15 years. They have always provided excellent service. The houses are always meticulously cleaned and fully equipped. I will continue to use Ocracoke Island Realty for all my future trips to the island."
